  • Siasatan Koroner: Anggota SAF Mati Akibat Luka Tembakan Di Kem Sembawang

    Siasatan Koroner: Anggota SAF Mati Akibat Luka Tembakan Di Kem Sembawang

    Seorang askar sepenuh masa Angkatan Bersenjata Singapura (SAF) yang ditemui mati di Kem Sembawang pada 2015, maut akibat luka tembakan. Demikian siasatan koroner diberitahu hari ini (19 Jan).

    Satu bedah siasat mendapati bahawa Pravinraj Selvaraj, 20 tahun, kemungkinan meletakkan senapang di dalam mulutnya lalu melepaskan tembakan.

    Siasatan itu mendapati Pravinraj disahkan mengalami kemurungan dan reaksi stres akut oleh para ahli psikiatri dari Institut Kesihatan Mental (IMH) pada Ogos dan September 2011. Pada kedua-dua masa, dia menyebut isu keluarga sebagai sebab dia mengalami masalah mental.

    Pihak Koroner diberitahu bahawa Pravinraj, yang mempunyai dua adik lelaki dan ibu bapanya sudah bercerai, tidak mempunyai hubungan yang baik dengan keluarganya. Selepas kematiannya, ibunya mengakui bahawa Pravinraj “mendambakan kasih sayang keluarga namun tidak menerimanya daripada beliau mahupun (bapanya).”

    Semasa satu temubual pada 2013, penyelia Pravinraj berkata remaja itu meluahkan minat untuk menjadi anggota perkhidmatan sepenuh masa, dan bertanya sama ada dia boleh diberikan penginapan. Rakan-rakan Pravinraj memberitahu para penyiasat bahawa dia kadangkala tidur di bawah blok dan pelantar tangga akibat masalah keluarga.

    Pada pagi 21 November 2015, Pravinraj dan rakan kerjanya diberikan senapang ketika melaporkan diri bagi tugas pengawal di Kem Sembawang. Kedua-dua mereka turut diberikan lelopak peluru , satu dipenuhi peluru dan lagi satu kosong.

    Pada 2.30 petang, Pravinraj berkata dia perlu ke tandas. Rakan kerjanya menunggu di luar sekitar 10 minit sebelum memanggil Pravinraj, yang berkata dia memerlukan lebih banyak masa.

    Dua minit kemudian, rakannya itu terdengar bunyi “letupan kuat” dan berlari ke arah tandas sambil memekik nama Pravinraj. Tiada respons diberikan. Beliau melihat kesan darah pada siling dan serta merta memaklumkan ketua-ketuanya.

    Polis dan Pasukan Pertahanan Awam Singapura dihubungi, dan para pegawai membuka kunci pintu kubikel dan menemui Pravinraj terbaring atas lantai dengan senapang dan sekeping kertas yang dironyokkan di antara kedua-dua kakinya.

    Kertas nota itu menyatakan dia meninggalkan mesej di sebuah aplikasi di telefon bimbitnya. Para pegawai menemui nota panjang lebar dalam telefon bimbitnya yang menyatakan dia meninggalkan barangan miliknya kepada rakan karibnya dan memberitahu teman wanitanya bahawa dia mencintainya.

    Siasatan menunjukkan bahawa Pravinraj menghantar gambar lima peluru kepada lima rakan karibnya beberapa jam sebelum dia mati, kata Penolong Superintendan Arun Guruswamy.

    Siasatan forensik terhadap telefon bimbitnya juga mendapati dia melungsuri laman-laman berkaitan membunuh diri.

    Koroner Negara Marvin Bay dijangka menyampaikan dapatannya hari ini.

  • Goh Meng Seng: Do Not Divert Attention From Real Issues In Benjamin Lim’s Case

    Goh Meng Seng: Do Not Divert Attention From Real Issues In Benjamin Lim’s Case

    I am utterly disappointed by the Minister for Home Affairs (who is also the Minister of Law, which I always feel is totally inappropriate as it may constitute a conflict of interests but this article is not about this) Mr. Shanmugam’s statement made in parliament with regards to the case of Benjamin Lim Jun Hui.

    Instead of addressing the many valid pertinent concerns raised by the public, on and off-line, he has put up a barrage of fire attacks at The Online Citizen (TOC) and the President of Law Society, Mr. Thio Shen Yi with totally irrelevant petty details of bickering.

    Whether there were 4 or 5 policemen went to the school, wearing police uniforms or plain clothes are really irrelevant to the pertinent questions asked by TOC, Mr Thio and the public at large.

    It is even more ridiculous for the Minister to cast doubts on TOC’s intent by raising the fact that it has reported that the Police refused to comment on the matter when approached!

    For whatever reasons the police refused to comment (such as those reasons presented by the Minister himself), it should just say so when TOC asked them! A good and competent Public Relations Officer from the Police would have made simple comment like “We cannot comment on this case as internal investigation is still ongoing.” or “We cannot comment on this case as there will be Coroner Inquiry, please wait for the result of Coroner Inquiry”…etc.

    The total ignore or silence from the Police is smacked of either arrogance or complete incompetency in Public Relations communication.

    The Police has its own Pubic Relations officers. If the Police refused to answer to TOC’s inquiries, then the Minister cannot blame the TOC for reporting so (the truth that the police refused to comment) and the public will have their own discretion to form their own opinion.

    So my dear Minister, it is the FAILURE of Police Public Relations officers in responding to the matter in timely manner that created public perception, not TOC. TOC merely reported the NO RESPONSE from the police!

    It is of course the prerogative of the Police in keeping silence but it must also understand that keeping quiet will have its consequences and implications.

    By the way, the Main stream media also reported 5 officers went to the school! Please lah! Why not fire at the Main stream media as well?

    As for the President of Law Society, the point made was the necessity of the police making the arrest at the school! So, don’t try to divert from this pertinent question by going into the irrelevant bickering. Do you think it is appropriate or necessary for the police to send 4 or 5 police officers to the school to make the arrest?

    There are more important questions raised by the public and I expect the Minister to address them, instead of using diversion tactic to dodge from these questions and public anger:

    1) Does the Minister think it is RIGHT (never mind if it is legal or not) for policemen to go to school to arrest students who are just suspects of crimes?

    2) Does the Minster think it is RIGHT (never mind if it is legal or not) for the police to interrogate minors without the presence of guardian or legal representative? In fact, is it right for police to deny legal representation or aid to suspects, regardless of age, during interrogation?

    These are the two important issues raised by the President of Law Society and they are valid questions to be addressed fully. These questions raised does NOT constitute sub judice but it is of GREAT PUBLIC INTERESTS.

    I hope the Minister could address these real issues instead of wasting time trying to divert attention to inconsequential minor details and bickering.

    Oh, by the way, the poor boy was just investigated but NO OFFICIAL JUDGMENT has been made about him just yet. I do not understand why the Minister would insinuate him as “guilty” in parliament just because, according to the police interrogation, he “confessed” to the crime. His confession could be contested in court if there was really a court case but unfortunately, he won’t have that trial now. So I would urge the Minister not to put judgment on the poor dead boy in parliament even though he is also the Minister of Law, but he is not the judge nor the case has been heard.
